And it's not the first time this cheese has come up trumps. It was also awarded gold medal for blue cheese at the World Cheese Awards in 2011, a gold medal at the International Cheese Awards in 2013 and a silver medal at the 2015 World Cheese Awards.

That's a lot of medals for a piece of cheese...

Other cheeses in the top 16 include Cremositos Del Zujar from Sain, Gorgonzola PDO Dolce from Italy and Le Gruyère AOP Antique Langruti from Switzerland.

Unfortunately for us though, we can't seem to find it stocked in any of our local supermarkets ready for the festive cheeseboard...
